Hmmm, slashing of wrists was heard before but i didn't really consider it to be like sort-of serious. I once watched a TV serial about slashing of wrists and how the victims felt. It's actually very simple. There are many reasons for it.

1. For fun like Joy. Although she didn't really slash her wrists. =))
2. To erase the pain, disappointment or stress that is tormenting them by the excruciating pain when the penknife is pierced through the flesh, into the blood... Eeeks, this sounds so grosss.....
3. To make people notice them.
   It's very simple though. Because slashing of wrists seldom occur in lower sec, people tend to notice them and pay more attention to them. So well, then the slashing of wrists might stop if people continue giving them the attention that they want. But if they aren't given the attention, they will continue slashing their wrists although the idea wouldn't be very fresh then. =(( Instead, it would turn STALE.

Ta Da! Simple as that! Oh yahs, the for fun part right is because some people find it super fun because the slow moment when you slowly slash your wrists.

You know, you heart will beat furiously and when you finally get it in, it's as if a fast roller coaster ride that lasts lesser than 3 seconds when it comes down. That's what I saw from the television programme. So in some way, it's really scary.

Well you know, we people have different ways of dealing with stress. For some people, it would mean physical torture. Well, so that simply explains the wrist slashing.

For me, if I have stress, I would listen to loud music or go for a swim. Or simpler, go play. PLAY is the most fantastic thing in the world. LALALA. Play.!!

So well, just get to understand why. I tell you, people won't really go to psychiatrists. You got to find out the reason why they slash their wrists first before referring them to psychiatrists or teachers. If they are willing to stop slashing their wrists, it would be far far better and more meaningful than forcing them to stop it when it's some sort like their addiction....
